Ainaz Alavi performs in a first-of-its-kind production that blends tradition and technology

This week, Master’s student Ainaz Alavi performed in Meladramma-AI, the world’s first AI adaptation of an opera.

Premiered at Ontario Tech University’s historic Regent Theatre in Oshawa on September 21, Meladramma-AI brought together live singers, dancers, concert pianist and AI-driven creativity to transform opera for a new century.

In a post, Ainaz said “It was such an amazing experience, and I feel lucky that research, creativity, and the things I love keep finding ways to connect.”
